Adriano 517 Posted April 13 #151 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Congratulation Canada! This means polish biggest failure now in qualification for me. I hope Rudyk will be in good shape in sprint in Paris. Edited April 13 by Adriano Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I`m worried about the poor form of the Italian women in the pursuit race - individually Balsamo and Consonni are in fantastic shape, but the team is not very well-coordinated With Great Britain, which focuses everything on the Olympics and its competitors only ride on the track, it1s difficult to win, but it`s already a worse time than France may be disturbing. France also has road racers and they are much less talented than the Italians. Poor form about what??? They ride almost the italian record, in Paris they will be' able to ride around 4.08 low or 4.07 high , it wont be' enough for gold, bit they are definetely very big medal contenders , there isnt anything to be' worried about, they will be focusing on track in lastre 2 months ( I hope also Balsamo will forget the olympic road race) copravolley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two teams have been facing each other for a couple of years now (since early u23) and despite Italy coming out on top most of the times there has never been a major gap between both.

I mean that France doesn't currently have a top-class cyclist like Elisa Balsamo or even Chiara Consonni. The problem for the Italians is that they rarely train with each other due to the intense season on the road. Therefore, beating UK, which focuses 100% on the track is unlikely but fight of silver and bronze is still open. I hope that Marco Villa has planned it well and will have more time to work with the team before the Olympics. Balsamo and Consonni have a strong position in their teams and will certainly be allowed to train longer for the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France was able to improve from run to run, Italy was not. I think that in the end, Paternoster will replace Alzini in the 4 for the team at least looking at the current form. In the road race, due to profile of course, Elisa Longo Borghini will 100% be the Italian leader, especially if she maintains her current high form.

orangeman 1,434 Posted April 14 #159 Share Posted April 14 Another 4th! 10 finals, Four 4ths for Canada. Another three 5ths. It's a complete meme at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussB 73 Posted April 14 #160 Share Posted April 14 Unbelievable mess in the men’s omnium points race. Hayter wins but somehow isn’t credited with a lap leading to a 20 min delay while the officials try to figure out what happened. Shambles 🤣 Josh and orangeman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
